In the present embodiment, when the moisture preserving module 303 enables matters, such as moisture, in the chamber 100 to penetrate, the moisture preserving module 303 can achieve the purpose of regulating the humidity in the chamber 100. The present embodiment is provided with at least one air hole 3034 on each of the first base 3031 and the second base 3032, the air hole 3034 penetrates said first base 3031 and the second base 3032, the opening direction of the air hole 3034 on the first base 3031 is consistent with that on the second base
3032, and the moisture preserving film 3033 itself enables matters, such as moisture, to pass through; therefore, matters, such as moisture, in the chamber
1 00 can be interchanged with that outside the chamber 100 via the air holes 3034 on the first base 3031 and the second base 3032 and the moisture preserving film
3033. The number and position of the air hole 3034 can be determined according to actual situations.
As shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, the first base 3031 of said moisture preserving module 303 is provided with a first sliding part 3035, said upper cover 310 is
- 6 2015354141 17 May 2018 provided with a second sliding part 3101 corresponding to the first sliding part 3035, and said upper cover 310 slides on said moisture preserving module 303 by means of said first sliding part 3035 and said second sliding part 3101. In the present embodiment, said first sliding part 3035 is a chute 3035, said second sliding part 3101 is a boss 3101, and said boss 3101 can slide in said chute 3035. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific structure of the first sliding part 3035 and said second sliding part 3101 can be determined according to actual situations. In other embodiments, as shown in Fig. 4, said first sliding part 3035’ can be arranged on said side wall 301 close io to said moisture preserving module 303, the second sliding part 3101’ on said upper cover 310 protrudes, from two sides, out of said moisture preserving module 303 and is fitted to the first sliding part 3035’ on the side wall 301, and since the first base 3031 at this time is not provided with the first sliding part 3035, an air-permeable region on the first base 3031 is enlarged, such that an air-permeable region on the moisture preserving module 303 is enlarged.
In the present embodiment, in order to prevent said upper cover 310 from being detached from said moisture preserving module 303 in the sliding process, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, two ends of said chute 3035 are provided with a blocking part 3036, said blocking part 3036 may be, but not limited to, for example, two end edges of said chute 3035, and said blocking part 3036 may also be arranged on the side wall 301 as shown. When said boss 3101 slides back and forth in said chute 3035, with the blocking function of said blocking part 3036, the boss 3101 will not slide off said chute 3035, that is, said upper cover 310 will not leave said moisture preserving module 303 in the sliding direction. In order to further prevent the upper cover 310 from leaving said moisture preserving module 303 in the vertical direction, i.e., the direction where said first base 3031 and the second base 3032 are stacked, said moisture preserving module 303 or the side wall 301 as shown may also be provided with a limiting part 3037, in Fig. 5, taking an example that the limiting part 3037 is arranged on said moisture preserving module 303, said limiting part 3037 may be a hook, with one end thereof connected to said moisture preserving module 303 and the other end thereof protruding to the upper surface of said upper cover 310, and said limiting part 3037 limits the axial movement of said upper cover 310.
As shown in Fig. 2, said chamber 100 of the present embodiment further comprises an air supply module 305, the air supply module 305 is a fan for
- 7 2015354141 17 May 2018 example, said at least one air port 304 comprises an air inlet 3041 and an air outlet 3042, when said chamber is at a drying mode, at least one of said air inlet 3041 and the air outlet 3042 is in a opening state, said air supply module 305 discharges moisture from said chamber 100 via said air inlet 3041 and/or said air outlet 3042. In the present embodiment, said air inlet 3041 is connected to said air supply module 305 via an air channel 3051, said air inlet 3041 and the air outlet 3042 are each provided with a shield door 306, and said shield door 306 is used to control the opening and closing of the air inlet 3041 and the air outlet 3042. When said chamber 100 is at a high-humidity mode, said air supply io structure 305 blows cold air into the chamber 100 via the air inlet 3041, and the cold air may be blown out from the opened moisture preserving module 303.
In the present embodiment, said chamber further comprises an evaporator (not shown in the figures), said evaporator is used to remove moisture from the air so as to generate dry air, and when said chamber 100 is at a drying mode, said air supply structure 305 blows the dry air dehumidified by the evaporator into said chamber 100 via the air inlet 3041. In one example, said air inlet 3041 is opened, and at the same time said air outlet 3042 is closed, the air supply module 305 feeds the dry air into the chamber 100 via the air channel 3051 and the air inlet 3041 so as to reduce the humidity value in the chamber 100, when a certain amount of dry air is introduced, the air pressure in the chamber 100 increases, the drawer 309 moves slightly and generates a gap under the action of the air pressure, the moisture in the chamber 100 may be discharged via said gap, and when the air supply module 305 stops working, the drawer 309 returns to the original position, the air inlet 3041 is closed, and the chamber 100 becomes a closed space. Therefore, in the above-mentioned example, only an air inlet 3041 is arranged, without the need to arrange an air outlet 3042.
